INTRODUCTION
The philosophy @ No.5 is simple - an open space where people from all walks of
life can come together to share an experience - to enjoy being nourished - to leave
feeling inspired.
Everything that we do is directed toward communicating ideas about how we can
create a more sustainable, open minded, ethical and responsible community.
Our food is a vehicle to express how we feel - wholesome & artistic, colourful &
creative - simple flavours with attention to the details.
We use the best local, organic & bio-dynamic produce available & design our menu
based upon the abundance of the season - the way it should be!!
By supporting local growers we are not only promoting growth of the local economy,
we are reducing transportation costs & unnecessary use of non-renewable energy,
not to mention providing healthy & affordable food for our community - whilst
tantalising your taste buds too!!
Our goal is not only to support local, ecologically balanced farming practices, but to
actively venture towards establishing a holistic model for a fully sustainable small
business operation that supports all those involved - our guests, our suppliers, our
workers & ultimately ourselves!
Live music, movie nights, social events & community gatherings - there’s always
something going on down @ No.5!

very unique way in which the space has embodied the heart of the community. Most
Bello locals would say that spending time at No.5 is just like spending time in your
